Love to Live to –Learn—
To love is divine, whom do you love, and what do you love? A common misused word, love. What does it mean? Lust is not love but simply a selfish gratification of one’s needs and desires.
Love the super-glue of the universe. It’s the unbridled raw energy that attracts and binds opposites in the dance of life. Atoms—the building blocks of life—are constantly making love, courting one another in such a frenzied state that they give birth to matter. The essence of our beings, the essence of our world, our foundation, is love.
It is simple to appreciate yet hard to grasp life and its meaning. Simple in the sense that when you look at Mother Nature, say a manifestation of a hundred-year-old oak tree, yes it’s a massive tree, a huge majestic wondrous beauty to behold. You don’t try to understand the tree, but simply appreciate it for what it represents another handiwork of the creator that co-exists here among us. So in that respect I have stopped asking the unattainable why’s of life; you know the why’s that you know you just have to accept—keep asking but don’t pull your hair out attempting to unlock their secrets. I adopted the attitude,”Learn through appreciation of your surroundings whatever they may be, for it is the miracle of life you were granted”. Have faith to live to love, and in return you will love to live.
To live—live is a verb, an action word. So living involves activity. There was no mention of being a spectator, watching others being active. You know how you sit passively; vegetating in front of a tube watching reality TV. It kills me to see life wasted; there is so much you have not yet tasted. Never take life for granted, here today gone tomorrow. Live each day as if it were your last. Live your life with passion and zest. What you put into it is surely what you will get out of it. I’m simply sharing what I learned while living to love this life I lead.
Everyday is a learning experience. Everyday is a new experience, to have lived, to have learned, to have mastered. The cycles of learning, of living life; involve repeating experiences over and over until they are implemented with some degree of satisfaction; to warrant further movement along the path. If at first you don’t succeed try; and try and try and try again. At some point if you find yourself in the same predicament repeatedly over and over, stop and take the time to learn from your actions. Learn to live; live to learn so that you may lead the life you yearn.
To love is divine; to live is an expression of love. My mother would always say if you are going to partake in any venture do it to the best of your ability. To live life comes naturally—anyone can do it. But to master your life requires that you become a student so that you are constantly learning. I profess to know nothing and am simply a student in the arts of life.
I live to love my life learning, the unknown while striving to maintain and master the known. I live to love to learn, so that I am in a constant state of growth; my cup is never full nor is it empty.
I learn to live to love, for it is the foundation of life, thus the elixir that keeps us young. This is the famed
fountain of youth, love. It binds, it heals, it creates, and it is the essence, the manifestation of life.
Live to learn to love
Learn to love to live
Love to live to learn
so that you may live the life that you yearn.
